Should I start including Jewish creators in with POCs in my month end stats?

There's a good bit of prejudice against atheists. It hasn't been invoked strongly recently, but it could be.

The newer sorts of Paganism have run into prejudice-- it was a long fight to get pentacles allowed on graves at Arlington, and there have been issues with child custody.

Prejudice against atheists doesn't make the news, but it's there under the surface. Public opinion polls show that people distrust atheists more than any religious group. And any atheist who's ever lived around evangelicals knows to give noncommittal answers any time religion comes up.

Yes, as I said, anyone who successfully resists assimilation into the right-wing-Borg could be targetted for that, which is why, alas, there are already multiple categories of bigotry defined: misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ablism, anti-Semitism, anti-zyganism, Islamophobia, &c ad nauseam.

james-nicoll's question, as I understood it is whether to roll all these into two categories (gender and "race"+religion) or record separate categories. As differing prejudices come and go I personally think it's more practically useful to record the current major targets of hate-crimes by category.
